Embodiment Construction

[0020]Hereinafter, an embodiment of an oil pressure generator according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a side view of a motorcycle 1. Referring now to FIG. 1, the motorcycle 1 is of a sportbike or streetbike type, configured for on-road use. An engine E is mounted within a body frame 3 of the motorcycle 1 covered with a cowling 2. A front wheel 4 which is a steering wheel and a rear wheel 5 which is a drive wheel are mounted forward and rearward relative to the body frame 3, respectively. The front wheel 4 is connected to a bar handle 10 through a front fork 4a. The bar handle 10 is attached to a front portion of the body frame 3 of the motorcycle 1 to extend in a lateral direction of the motorcycle 1. The front fork 4a is pivotally mounted to the body frame 3. When a rider steers the handle 10 to the right or to the left, the front wheel 4 rotates to the right or to the left.

[0021]The rear wheel 5 is rotatably mounted at a rear ...
